"Paint & Body is Pleased to Present:

Lost Pittsburgh Artists
Guest Curators: Jennifer Lee and Olivia Allison

This exhibit will premiere recent work by a group of former Pittsburgh residents, who have never previously exhibited in their hometown. The participating artists employ a variety of media. A review of this eclectic collection reveals subtle similarities between the artists, and suggests the undeniable influence of their origin, as well as the particularity of their expatriation.

Lee and Allison, who met in Pittsburgh, but now live and work in the New York area, have been constant collaborators throughout their acquaintance. Lost Pittsburgh Artists has provided Lee and Allison with an investigation relevant to their own experiences as transplants from the Three Rivers area, and signifies a homecoming for them, as well as for the exhibiting artists.
